Cheaper by the Dozen  by Frank Gilbreth Jnr.  $11.95

One of the funniest true stories you will ever read about a family in America in the early 1900's.  The movie has nothing in common except that both families had 12 children - so don't let the movie put you off.  Five star family read aloud.  Ages 6 yrs to adult.

NB - Some language may offend readers.  I read it aloud to my children and edited those brief parts, also missing out the last chapter as it was inappropriate for their ages.  Nevertheless it was one of the best family stories we ever read, beaten only by My Family and Other Animals.
